Hi All, I am new to the group and appreciate in advance all the support.

I am very close to pulling the trigger on the 2016 v7 II racer. One big but, the chrome tank and brown leather saddle is my preference. The US model for 2016 is a new graphic for the US.

Questions: How difficult is it to switch out the tank? I found one on AF1 racing. Also, where can I find a brown saddle? I looked all over and only found black in the US....tons of options across the pond.

Adding a question: Will the V7 tanks fit the V7 II? TLM has a chrome tank, but list it only for V7 II Stone and Special only.

Thanks!

The tank is easy to swap. A vent line, a fuel line, and an electrical plug are the only connections that I can recall. You might check tank pricing from TLM in the Netherlands. Seems like they were a LOT less money than AF1.
You can probably source the brown seat from them too.
You might consider how comfortable that seat will be before buying it.
I tried all of the Guzzi versions for my bike. Wound up buying a Corbin.
 
Thanks mwrenn. I will check them out. It would be a lot easier and cheaper if I cohld get an Euro model :)
 
What are you planning on doing with the stock tank if you change it out to the chrome? If you're thinking of selling, how much would you want for it?

I am not sure at this point. Just trying to confirm I can get a chrome tank to fit the v7 II. I definitely don't want to chrome plate the stock tank.
 
They are available. I can get one from my shop for $1,200 part #606133M
 
That brown seat looks like it was only available for Euro models and I checked availability through Piaggio and it's not showing that they have them in stock.
 
Corsa Italiana has the brown Racer seat in stock. They are in England. 223 Pounds.
Not sure how much that is in Amurican....lol
TLM has a new chrome tank on eBay for $1003. $40 shipping.
